KILTER GRIPS KILTER BOARD

IIf you're even remotely serious about training for climbing, odds are you will or already have, spent time on a training board of some kind. However, anyone who has spent time under these primitive plywood torture walls, deciphering binders of problems with grip coordinates that are reminicent of the game 'Battleship', has long thought; 'what if you could light up the holds?"

Enter in Kilter Grips. If you have climbed in a gym in the last 25+ years, at all, you likley have climbed on holds shaped by Kilter founder Ian Powell. Ian is one of the godfathers of modern hold design and his illuminated climbing hold footprint is one of the things that sets the Kilter Board apart from the rest in a market that is growing increasingly saturated. Illuminated boards are now standard, however early attempts were quite literally lost as you ascended the wall. The lights positioned under the holds made it diffcult to quickly obtain your next foothold, often forcing a climber to stop and look around unnaturally. The holds on the Kilter Board feature a fully illuminated ring around the entire footprint of the hold that lights up via an LED light kit assembled into the back of the wall.

Utilizing the Kilter Board mobile app, you have access to thousands of boulders set by users all over the world. Using various refinement filters allows a climber to easily find climbs to try, while the 70 degrees of adjustibility (if the wall allows for it) helps you dial in the exact steepness and intensity.

Both the Original and Homewall layouts are offered in multiple size options to best fit into whatever space you have. The smaller versions share similar problems to their larger counterparts by essentially being the center portion of the wall, with the larger sizes being expansions horizontally and vertically. All the holds have been shaped in a dense foam providing a less-abrasive texture that allows for longer sessions and more of them in a week. Seriously, these grips are more comfortable then most stadard commercial holds. Each hold layout has been curated through thousands of hours of development and the final products reflect that process.
